BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 430
CURRENT ADP: ~463 overall
ANALYSIS: Cano missed all of the 2021 season due to another PED suspension. He was coming off three straight seasons where he hit no more than 13 home runs but still hit for an excellent average. As he gets older, the power is deteriorating, but the average stays solid.
Cano spent the winter playing in the Dominican Winter League, hitting .300 over 43 at-bats. No home runs, but the bat is coming back. He also missed some time due to a back injury which is always a concern. Injuries aside, Cano becomes a much better gamble with the NL adding the DH. The Mets do have many moving pieces that could affect playing time for Cano, but for now, we should expect him to play DH and get a fair share of at-bats. He makes for an exciting gamble late in deeper leagues.
